Holding

The court allowed the application to re-open the hearing of a judicial review application for mandamus after respondents filed a supplementary affidavit raising pertinent issues. The court ordered the applicants could file a reply within 7 days and directed deponents to attend for cross-examination, with costs reserved to the substantive application.

Outcome

Hearing re-opened; deponents ordered to attend for cross-examination; matter adjourned for further hearing.

Facts

This is an interlocutory ruling in judicial review proceedings. The applicants sought an order of mandamus requiring the government respondents to pay monies claimed from Government. A ruling on the substantive application was prepared and scheduled for delivery on 6 July 2007. On that date, before delivery, counsel for the respondents filed a supplementary affidavit of the Attorney General and requested that the hearing be re-opened to consider the new evidence. Applicant's counsel left the decision to the court's discretion but requested the right to cross-examine deponents if the hearing were re-opened.

Issues

  1. Whether the hearing should be re-opened to consider a supplementary affidavit filed by the respondents after the ruling was prepared but before delivery.

Orders
